Where does our “stuff” come from? How has that changed over time?
These questions open up the complex stories behind objects: where and when they were made, by whom, of what, and how. In this exhibition, we delve into the Galt Museum & Archives’ collections to consider how their origins reflect our community and the broader geo-political context.
Incorporating Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) knowledge and artisanal practices, Made In highlights goods that were processed, manufactured, invented or handcrafted in and around Lethbridge. The exhibition also features objects made elsewhere in the world, including treasures brought by settler communities to this region.
Join us as we explore the histories and geographies of our stuff!
